“This book came out at around the same time as my first book…They’re similar in some ways, but I would say Urbina’s book is much better than mine. Each chapter investigates a specific sector of the clandestine operations that take place out at sea. He delves into the many weird corners of this world, including illegal fishing, the oil and gas industry, pirates, smuggling, and human trafficking. Urbina must be an adrenaline junkie. He takes you to some dangerous and terrifying places. It’s an exceptional piece of literary journalism and reporting. There is no other book out there like this. Every single chapter is fantastic.” Read more...
